The Czech government will look at putting a limit on industrial electricity bills at the same time as it tries to help households and state institutions get through Europe's energy crisis, its finance minister Zbynek Stanjura said.

The centre-right government is readying more measures to go alongside EU plans to ease the burden of soaring energy prices after an emergency meeting of the bloc's energy ministers.
